Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely none! Our Arequipa workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, lines, and shading before you start your masterpiece. It’s all about having a laugh and trying something new in the heart of the White City. We’ll help you unlock your inner artist in no time!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy when the wind picks up! Since Arequipa is the city of eternal sunshine, don't forget your sunblock and a hat, as we often work in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces to ensure safety and inspiration.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, as well as protective gloves and suits. Our artists are highly trained in safety protocols and will brief the group before any paint is sprayed. We ensure all our workshop locations in Arequipa have excellent ventilation to keep the air fresh while you create your street art.

How long does the graffiti session take?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, some practice time, and then the main event—creating your own unique piece! If you’re in a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your travel schedule.

Will I have something to take home afterwards?

For our standard tourist experience, you’ll be painting on a large, high-quality canvas or a professional-grade panel. The best part? You can actually take your canvas home with you (once it's dry!) as the ultimate unique souvenir from your time in Peru. It’s a much better memento than a generic fridge magnet, and it fits perfectly in most suitcases!

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a large tour group exploring the Andes, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your numbers and we’ll make it happen!

How does the booking and payment process work?

No upfront payment is required when you book your Arequipa experience. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is finished and you’re 100% happy with the result. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. If your plans change, just let us know—we’re travellers too and we know things happen!

Looking for something a bit more rebellious than a standard museum tour?

The experience

Why should you swap your pisco sour for a spray can for a few hours? Arequipa is the perfect backdrop for a creative explosion. Here’s why our workshop is a must-do on your Peruvian itinerary:

Authentic connection: Work side-by-side with local Arequipa artists who live and breathe the local scene. 🎤
Take-home art: Don't just take photos; take home a custom canvas that you painted yourself in the shadow of the Andes.
Zero stress: No experience? No problem! We specialise in turning "I can't draw" into "Look what I made!" 🏆
Perfect for everyone: Great for families, backpacker groups, or even bachelor parties looking for something different.
Stress-free booking: With our backup artist guarantee and "pay later" policy, your travel plans are in safe hands.
Social vibes: It’s a fantastic way to meet fellow travellers in a high-energy, fun environment. 🎉

Step by step

Warm welcome: Meet your local graffiti guide at our creative spot and get introduced to the vibrant world of Peruvian street art.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, gloves, and professional mask to ensure a clean and safe creative session.
Master the tools: Learn about different spray nozzles (caps) and how they change the thickness and texture of your lines.
Sketching your vision: Start by mapping out your design on the canvas using light strokes and basic shapes.
Technique practice: Spend some time getting used to the pressure of the can—practising fades, outlines, and fills.
Colour explosion: Start applying your main colours, learning how to blend shades to create that classic 3D graffiti effect.
The finishing touches: Add highlights, sharp outlines, and perhaps some Andean-inspired patterns to make your art pop.
The big reveal: Step back and admire your handiwork with the group, taking plenty of photos for your travel blog or Instagram!

Local culture

Arequipa is world-famous for its stunning white sillar architecture, but look closer at the districts of Yanahuara or Selva Alegre, and you’ll find a contemporary heartbeat expressed through incredible murals. Peruvian street art is a unique blend of ancient Inca symbolism, political commentary, and vibrant Amazonian colours. By joining our workshop, you aren't just spraying paint; you're engaging with a local culture that uses walls as a canvas for storytelling. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of the most famous street artists in Peru often incorporate "Arequipeño" pride into their work, using the Misti volcano as a recurring silhouette in their murals? Keep an eye out for it while you wander the streets! 🌋

Whether you've visited Lima or are heading next to Cusco, Arequipa offers a distinct, relaxed vibe that is perfect for getting your creative juices flowing.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art! Because we cater to everyone from solo explorers to massive tour groups, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Factors like the number of participants and any custom requests (like specific canvas sizes) will influence the final cost.

Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today!

The best part? You don't pay a penny upfront. Secure your spot now and pay only once the workshop is complete. 🔥
